the third area, energy. energy is critical, and the president pointed out correctly that production of oil and gas in the u.s. is up. but not due to his policies, in spite of his policies. mr. president, all of the increase in natural gas and oil has happened on private land, not in government land. on government land your administration has cut the number of permits and licenses in half. if i'm president, i'll double them. i'll also get the oil from off shore and alaska, and i'll bring that pipeline in from canada. and also coal. people in the coal industry feel like it is being crushed by your policies. i want to get america and north america energy independent so we can create those jobs. finally, with regard to that tax cut, look, i'm not willing to cut massive taxes and reduce the revenues going to the government. my number one principle is there will be no tax cut that adds to the government. i want to underline that. no tax cut that adds to the deficit. i want to reduce the burden being paid by middle

i want to control our energy. after 30 years of inaction, we have raised fuel standards by the middle of the next decade so your cars and trucks will be going twice as far on a gallon of gas. we have doubled the amount of renewable energy that we generate from sources like wind and solar. thousands of americans have jobs building wind turbines and long- lasting batteries. the united states today is less dependent on foreign oil than any time in the last two decades. now you have a choice between a plan that reverses this progress or one that builds on it. my opponent said he refuses to close a loophole that gives big oil companies $4 billion in tax subsidies every year. we have a better plan that we keep investing in wind, solar, and clean coal, where construction workers are retrofitting homes so they waste less energy, and we can develop a supply of natural gas that creates hundreds of thousands of jobs and we can cut our oil imports in half by 2020. that will be good for our economy, for colorado, and that will
